Hi, we are Stephen, Jess, Hunter and baby Koa - an Australian family who have had quite the journey. After travelling the world as a couple in 2020 we had our very first baby, we then spent the following year self-converted a van before moving into it full-time to drive around Australia. Cut to 2023 we welcomed our second child Koa into the world before resuming full-time travel around the world.

@@flyingthenest The taffy or caramel apple, just like Americans to put candy on fruit. The cowboy or chuck wagon triangle dinner bell, didn't realize that wasn't well known. The potato skins which are made from regular potatoes and a normal appetizer found at bars. You cay buy potato skin chips. The Ren Faire by me is up all year round although they only operate weekends in summer.

Renaissance Fairs are kind of big in the US. They are like Medieval Times, but outdoors. Lots of knights, jousting , medieval feats and plenty of Renaissance role playing. The Texas one is the biggest, but here in PA, we have the 5th largest one in the country. Hope you had a blast!

If you love seeing the old gold fields, when you come back to Australia, I recommend coming down to Victoria and going to visit Sovereign Hill here in Ballarat. You will absolutely love it. Lots of fun activities for all. It's very similar to the ghost town in America. Everything is based around the 1800s including what they wear. Kyral Castle is also a step back in time. It's a medieval place. Very similar to where you guys went. 10 mins out of ballarat. The kids would love both places

It is a gold town where you can go into a still active goldmine. We in northern California also have a Renaissance Faire. It is in Sonoma County and operates ever fall. So much fun. We also have a Dickens Faire at Christmas every year in San Francisco. You are all having such an adventure and Hunter will never forget it!!

@@flyingthenest The Ren Fest is only open on weekends for February and March and then it's mostly an empty lot the other 10 months. We generally don’t leave the house on weekends during that time.

​@@flyingthenest Traditionally, potato skins ARE supposed to be just the skin of a cut in half potato with a bit of whipped potato inside holding it together, and it is normally a white Idaho potato "loaded" with cheese, bacon bits, chives, and sour cream. They should also be "twice baked", so they are crispy on the outside and soft inside. When done right, they are delicious! This was a very popular restaurant appetizer when I was growing up in the 1990's, and that had a lot to do with the T.G.I. Friday's restaurant chain. Most grocery stores still sell the TGI Friday's version in the frozen food section, so the next time you get an AirBnB with an oven, you might like to try their frozen ones! Of course freshly made is better, but very hard to find these days.

I went to Goldfield a hand full of years ago. So much fun. I love comparing old pictures and new pictures of places. But I never saw any. Just pictures of movies filmed there. So I asked someone who worked in the shop. They said...Well...turns out the only real original stuff was the equipment left behind. Not really the buildings. They were built mainly for the movies and TV shows. But still a super cool place. Had a bear at the saloon with my friend with an amazing view of the Superstition mountains 😊❤

Since y'all do amusement parks so well, I hope you go to Dollywood while you are in the States. It has a mountain and mine theme throughout. Nearby is Cades Cove, which was a valley in the mountains that early settlers settled in and built their homes and churches. The government took it over for a national park but it has been preserved. Once or twice a week they close the 11 mile loop so people can bike around it. Great for kids!

This might be the same Renaissance Faire group I used to see to every April-May near Dallas, Texas! After going for a few years and realizing the roaming characters seemed to know the shop workers very well, I learned all the characters and workers are basically a huge carnie community that travels across the US, setting up this same festival for 1-2 months in each place. Most of the rides and carts fold down onto trailers they can tow on the road. They pick destinations based on where it is warm but not too hot in the month they're there, and they come back every year to the same fields on the same dates. The workers all live in their own RVs, vans, tiny houses, gypsy caravans, etc. and have their own hidden RV park right next to the festival grounds. This allows them to live on site and travel together for like 9 months of the year and take the winter off. It was my understanding they are all independent workers, so not all of the same people go to every location on the tour. And some people only work the faire that comes to their town, so they don't travel with the core group. For the Dallas festival, it is held in a farm field outside the city, where some of the buildings are permanent structures (like the blacksmith and glass blowing forges), but they are boarded up and only used for this one faire. I don't know if each location has permanent buildings like this or if there is a company that runs the whole tour, but it is always a very fun and well-organized festival! Glad you got to experience this unique slice of the US.

This is so funny to me! You guys did USA in ways I’d never thought about being only things in the United States. That ghost town and Renaissance fair. I wonder why they aren’t done in Australia, they would work out there just as well… 🤷‍♀️ I never enjoy the Turkey legs at those fairs but I’ve always wanted to own one of those dresses! I’m glad you all had so much fun at these places!

Other countries (probably aus too) have renaissance fairs but they call them medieval fairs. Idk why we call it renaissance fair though when it’s usually pre-renaissance themed. They are fun, if you are in the US for summer you will definitely see more. That one looked really good though.

About those potato skins...What you had was twice cooked potatoes. If you just have potato skins the potato part is scooped out and the skins are fried and served with cheese and sour cream and guacamole. Yumm

Australia has medieval festivals, not as big but similar. Abbeystowe on the Sunshine coast, Queensland, is probably themost well known.

They actually DO keep the buildings up all year round for the Arizona Ren faire! They pack up all the rides and tents but the buildings remain. It actually looks just like a ghost town in the off-season.

Ahh that really seems like something that I should be waiting to do to do it with my future kids but like I really wanna do it now😂 Reminds me of when my parents took me to Playmobil land (a German toy brand idk if it's only popular in Europe) and they had a whole saloon and everything and you could search for Playmobil gold nuggets in the sand😂 I mean I already loved the Playmobil version so much as a child can't imagine how cool it is to see a real Ghost town!
